Visual Novel Translation Status (07/09/2016)
For this week VNTS Review title, I'd already came up with it from Hakuai release announcement back at June iirc, before it got delayed. The title was meant to parodying Marimite shoujo ai anime here, and the Nightingale was because there was an award called Nightingale in Hakuai games. Anyway, welcome to my VNTS Review for this week, and I think for this week I will also trying to elaborate on Decay thought here (By the way, it was me that posting Tyrosyn thought here in regard of Princess X. Glad now that Decay pay attention to it). As for podcast, not watching but congratulations for the first podcast here.
For the release this week, Towako was nukige with big breast (Good for anyone else who had big breast fetish) and it was Black Lilith game. I'd tried play Yukikaze, and the sex scene was quite long. For Umineko, even if Mangagamer release it with same modding capability as Higurashi, it's redundant release if I said. The reason was we already got PS3 Graphic and Voice mod for Umineko since 2013 (First Umineko mod was released at May 28th, 2014, and for Chiru it was released at June 25th, 2013. Yes, there's an explanation in regard of reversed release date), and even if there's some opinion like Witch Hunt translation was quite bad, I think there's also no problem in regard of the translation too for me at least. So, the good release here for me was Hakuai, and for the premise it was quite sweet yuri VN here with nurse school setting. Looks like Dergonu like this very much, just as I expected here.
This time, only fan translation and Sekai Project that give some update here, while Mangagamer was apparently had some staff too busy with AX and couldn't made in time for their usual update (Well, what I knew is that I must wait for another week if I want to see Mangagamer update). For Other segment, other than Hakuai release we also had ChuSinGura Chapter 2 and 3 will be launced at Steam in July end, Corona Blossom Chapter 1 was finally funded with more than 47.000 gathered (I'd already report it last week, only to be swept by rollback). JAST, well there's still no update from them.
Sekai Project
2236 was fully translated, Memory Dogma 73.03% translated, Chrono Clock translation progress touching a quarter here (25.11% here), and Maitetsu was 15.28%. There's nothing special in regard of the progress other than good job to both of Maitetsu and Chrono Clock for giving stable update here. Oh, and SakuSaku was moved to here. Okay, to be very honest here I was slightly disagree with Akerou decision, but I'd also realize that it's his choice, of course. I tried to visit Akerou page, and what I did find was very worth to facepalming that in few days the comments in his article was growing from around 35 to 132 comment. I'd already read some of 35 comments, and majority was quite upset with Akerou decision. So obviously I didn't need to read the comment in order to knew the content, and by the way, Chuee also confused that there's one comment that complain about H-Scene cut while Sekai already announced that there will be 18+ version. But at least Akerou didn't do something like OriginalRen here.
In regard of Akerou group, I suspect the reason that AstralAir need at least in 2017 release was because it'll be announced by Sekai. What I want to said that hopefully to lessen fan's wrath it'll be better if Chuee announced that they working together with Sekai from the very start, since I'd read that if the translator working together with the company, it'll be allow us to had some access to more difficult stuff. And I think the most difficult thing to deal for them would be technical thing. Oh, by the way for now AstraAir will entering QC. As for Irotoridori, I think if this is announced by Sekai my reaction wouldn't be as shocked as when Sekai announced SakuSaku, because even if Sekai announced it right now, it'll be still a long way before all of the translation progress was completed. And therefore I think the announcement will not made fans too salty like SakuSaku (Although in regard of H-Scenes was another matter though). Oh, for Irotoridori translation progress it's at 17%. I think even if I'm heavily suspect that Sekai will announce all projects from Akerou's site, I'll still report AstralAir and Irotoridori progress in Fan Translation for next weeks.
Fan Translation
After AstralAir translation was completed, there's another project that will be completed next week (Hopefully), and it was Koiken Otome. Right now they preparing for the patch, and right now I could only comment that this project was already there since 2013 iirc. And they state that they'll not sell it to Sekai or Mangagamer, so at least there's some comfort for now. For other roundup, Bishoujo Mangekyou was at 8.5% QC-ing, Tsui Yuri was 50% translated and 43% edited, Hanasaki had Hikari's route 29% translated, Majokoi had 23% translated and 13% edited, Witch Garden was 63% translated, 7% TLC, and 4% edited. and finally or Kanobito progress we had 106 scripts left to be translated (By the way, Mitch decided to localize Kanobito as 'My Girlfriend, My Lover, and I'). Overall, I think fan translation update was had some nice usual progress here.
I think that's all for my VNTS Review this week, and see you next week.
PS - For Trionline, no comment as there is no content here other than it'll be released in Japan at 2017 (Obviously it'll be translating by Mangagamer). For Nora, I checked VNDB and find out that Harukaze company was originally from Minato Soft, but the main staff was from WagaHigh. I didn't knew about translation potential, but I guess it'll allow us to had Majikoi game officially released (Maybe, and even if it's true it's already redundant).
